1650 Case With Foam (Black)

I now have 3 Pelican cases and plan on buying even more in the future. I bought the Pelican 1500 Case at the same time as the 1650 and have owned the Pelican Air 1535 for about 4 months now. I run a small video production company, and use these cases for storing and transporting almost all of my equipment, from camera bodies and lenses to microphones, monitors, and even a slate. The 1650 is a very large case, and held a large amount of equipment for me. As far as "constructing" the inside of the case with the pick-n-pluck foam, I took some advice from others on the web and used toothpicks to mark out the sizes of equipment before doing any actually plucking and picking. One of the best decisions I've made with this case was ordering the Pelican 1659 Lid Organizer at the same time. I haven't installed lid organizers in the 1535 or 1500 yet, but after realizing how convenient it is to be able to throw my spare camera batteries, cords, and other miscellaneous pieces into the lid organizer (instead of a separate bag or backpack), it's something I plan on looking into. Anyone who has experience any Pelican case can speak for how stellar the build quality is. These cases are clearly built to last and I never worry about storing several thousand dollars' worth of equipment in mine, especially when they can also be locked up. These cases are incredibly sturdy and built to make transportation easier, and the 1650 is no exception. It has two sets of double wheels on the bottom edge of the case as well as an extending handle that allows you to roll the case with ease - a definite need for this case since it's far too big and heavy to lift and carry anywhere. This case is deep enough that it actually has 2 rows of pick-n-pluck foam instead of 1 row (which the 1535 and 1500 both have). I was able to take advantage of this depth with a few items, most notably the suction mount, slate, and rail system. I've attached a picture to my review in order to get a better reference for just how big this case is & how much it can hold, and I'll break down the equipment inside now for those curious: - Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera - Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital SLR Camera Body - Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens - Rokinon CV85M-C 85mm t/1.5 Lens - Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera - Aputure 7-Inch Digital Video LCD Monitor - Matte Box -LP-E8 Battery Chargers (2) - Suction Cup Mount -1/4" Mount Stand Thing - Hot Shoe Stand (x2) - AA/AAA Plastic Battery Storage Case/Organizer/Holder - Clapboard with Color Sticks (9x11 inches) - 160 LED CN-160 Video Light (x2) - Opteka Follow Focus - Opteka 15mm Rod System I was able to fit a ton of stuff in the lid organizer as well, mostly extra batteries, a power strip, a sunshade for the monitor, pens/dry erase markers, gaffer's tape, cords, etc.

Well, this is my second Pelican case. I've owned the small (carry-on compliant) 1510 for over a year now and absolutely love it! Besides this 1650 being HUGE (I can fit my 1510 case inside with room left over), it still complies with all U.S. airlines check baggage size limits (by 2-inches!). However, I must say that this case is also pretty darn heavy just by itself at around 30 pounds (13.5 Kilos). So, keep this in mind because, even though physical size of the 1650 is fine for checked luggage, the WEIGHT requirements are around 50 pounds (22.5 Kilos). So, you only got less than 20 pounds (9 Kilos) before going over limit and getting charged extra! I personally have loaded my 1650 with over 40 pounds (18 Kilos) of camera and lighting gear. All I can say is that I'm soooo glad for all the heavy duty handles in order to move this amount of weight around. And yet, once on its wheels, it's stupid easy to roll around fully loaded! The scary thing is, I have no doubt this 1650 can hold even more weight. Which would simply make it a two-person job lifting something that heavy. So, with that said, how about I just copy/paste my review of the 1510 from last year? I am completely blown away with the quality and features. This world would be a much better place if everything was made to this standard. Although it's a little expensive (especially for the 1650 model), I feel I got well over 127.38% return from my investment and have ZERO regrets from finally being able to afford this size of Pelican case. I plan on this case being with me for the rest of my life. Pros: - Outstandingly durable; I would trust my life with this product (literally)! - Large amount of space, and I mean a lot! - Heavy duty handles and latches - Lockable with metal-reinforced padlock holes - EVERYTHING proof (wind, water, sand, dirt, snow, elephants, airport baggage handlers etc...) - Quad roller wheels are easy, durable, stable, and low profile - Collapsible handle for wheeling around - Lifetime warranty - Able to carry heavy loads Cons: - Wish logos (branding) were a little smaller and less noticeable. I ended up using some photography gaffers tape to cover them

This is a robust, well made, large case. It came with the pick n pluck foam which I would not recommend for camera gear. It pick n plucks easily and the separations are too flimsy for repeatedly removing multiple components. Would probably be fine for a single instrument. I paid $219 with free shippping via Amazon Prime, and it arrived 2 days later. Pelicancases.com was more expensive, could not deliver or give me a ship date after 3 weeks of waiting, so I cancelled the order. I did order part 1655, the padded divider set from them by talking directly to customer service, and it arrived 3 days later. The dividers work great with one exception. The picture of the dividers online and in pkg insert shows 2 dividers supposedly running lengthwise. What I received was 3 large dividers running widthwise, and 16 smaller dividers for configuring individual cells if needed. I used the (non'pick and pluck) foam bottom and edge from the P n P foam set to bring all gear up to the level of the case top so it would be held in place by the lid. I was able to fit a fieldscope, medium and super telephotos, large prime, super wide angle zoom, 3 cameras, speedlight, eyepiece loupe and adapter for the fieldscope, with room for more. Divider set also included egg crate foam that fits the case for customizing the sections. I still have 11 unused small dividers for use in other configurations. Would highly recommend this!

Muy bueno para guardar las cosas que tenemos delicadas, como es en mi caso, cámaras de vídeo, muy bien protegidas... Me interesaba llevar, para empezar bien protegidas, este case las protege de agua, polvo, golpes, están bien resguardadas... La otra cuestión era que entrara en mi medio de transporte, que entrara en bien, y todo lo que llevo, la verdad quedo un poco grande, pero muy bueno Lo busque en muchos lados, y hasta en USA, pero nada mas y nada menos que en Amazon México lo encontré al mejor precio y envío incluido, LA VERDAD MUY BUENO, he comprado varios productos en Amazon, y TODO EXCELENTE! Estoy muy contento y agradecido a Amazon, no es la única oferta que he recibido por parte de Amazon, la vez pasada también fue un Tripie profesional EXCELENTE! Solo si Amazon no lo tiene... recurro a las otras paginas... Porque no me queda de otra jejejejeje

Very sturdy product would recommend for any type of kit you need to pack along with you

a really good product, made of high quality materials. A bit on the high side, but worth it in the long run! Shipment was quite fast as well.

言わずと知れたペリカンハードケース。 安心できる耐久性、頑丈さで、初めからウレタンのクッションが入っているので、直ぐに使用できます。 難点としては、大きいサイズなので置場所にこまるくらいです。 重量に関してもそこまで重くなくキャスターが着いているので平地では難なく持ち運びは出来ます。 ただ、長い階段の上り降りは女性の方にはキツイと思います。

サバゲー用に購入。 プレキャリ、ヘルメット、BB弾、ガス、銃、全部入ります。 頑丈な為雑に扱っても大丈夫でとても安心です。
